Although oral iron preparations are widely prescribed to prevent and to treat iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy, comparative data on their effects to the mother, fetus and placenta are limited. In this study, the effects ...

Printed circuit boards are found in all electric and electronic equipment and are particulary problematic to recycle because of the heterogeneous mix of organic material, metals, and fiberglass. Additionally, printed ...

The oxidation of ferrous iron by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in the pH range 2.5-7.0 was characterized. In order to measure the rate of bacterial oxidation of ferrous iron with A. ferrooxidans in this high pH range, a ...

In this work we propose a novel automatic cast iron segmentation approach based on the Optimum-Path Forest classifier (OPF). Microscopic images from nodular, gray and malleable cast irons are segmented using OPF, and Support ...

The absorption of heme iron has been described as distinctly different from that of non-heme iron. Moreover, whether heme and non-heme iron compete for absorption has not been well established. Our objective was to investigate ...
